Ilyenkor

Ilyenkor is a Hungarian word that translates to "at that time" or "at that moment." It is commonly used in Hungarian language and culture to refer to a specific point in time, often in the context of historical events, literary works, or cultural references. The term is derived from the Hungarian words "ilyen" (such) and "kor" (time), literally meaning "such a time."

In Hungarian history, ilyenkor is used to discuss significant events that occurred at particular moments in time. For example, "Az ilyenkor a magyarok függetlenségét nyerték meg" (At that time, the Hungarians gained their independence) refers to the Battle of Mohács in 1526, a pivotal moment in Hungarian history. In literature, ilyenkor is employed to set the scene for a story or to provide context for a character's actions. For instance, a novel might begin with a sentence like "Ilyenkor éltem, amikor megismerkedtem első szerelmemmel" (At that time, I met my first love).

The concept of ilyenkor is also present in Hungarian folklore and traditional stories, where it is used to create a sense of immediacy and immersion for the listener. The term is an essential element of Hungarian language and culture, reflecting the country's rich history and literary tradition. It serves as a reminder of the importance of specific moments in time and their impact on the present and future.
